Have him ping your server and see what kind of a responce time he gets.
To ping the server in XP.
click on 'start' and select the 'run...' option.
In the box that opens type in 'cmd' then click 'ok'.
in the command window type: ping -l 1024 -n 10 98.111.192.249
and hit return. the -l is a lowercase L if it is not clear.
